Orbs (DmC)

Red Orb
The Red Orbs return as the currency for purchasing items. They can be collected by killing demons and destroying objects in the world. Depending on the player's Style grade upon an enemy's defeat, more Red Orbs can be earned.

White Orb
White Orbs serve a purpose very similar to Proud Souls, being used to purchase upgrades. They work differently than normal Orbs, though, requiring Dante to earn up enough of them to count towards one upgrade, acting like a subunit of a larger "Upgrade Point" currency. White Orbs are collected upon an enemy's defeat, and also earned at the end of a Mission, the amount gained depends on your Mission score.

Green Orb
Green Orbs immediately replenish Dante's Vitality when collected. Green Orbs can be obtained by defeating enemies when your Style grade is exceptionally high, and from various "demon eggs" that stick to walls, specifically the green ones.

Purple Orb
Purple Orbs instantly refill Dante's magic meter when collected. Although rare, they can be earned for defeating certain enemies, and by smashing objects in the world.

Gold Orb
The Gold Orb is a special item that revives Dante upon death, right in the spot where he fell, giving him full Vitality in the process. Only three can be held at a time.
